User Reviews

Alert San Diego is valued as a centralized source for emergency information and disaster preparedness, with location-based alerts and up-to-date guidance from authorities. Many users praise its preparedness content and maps. However, recurring issues across reviews include false or poorly located earthquake alerts, excessive and hard-to-filter notifications, stability and usability problems (crashes, freezing, upgrade screens), and limitations in maps/visuals. A common sentiment is that the app would be more reliable and user-friendly if alert filtering, accuracy, and performance were improved, and the old app’s features retained.

Pros

Centralized source for emergency information and disaster preparedness.
Customizable location-based notifications.
Up-to-date guidance from authorities, including evacuation orders and routes.
Helpful maps and preparedness resources (e.g., USGS earthquake data).
Potentially lifesaving during disasters by delivering critical information quickly.

Cons

False or mis-timed alerts, with inaccurate distance/location for earthquakes.
Too many notifications that are hard to filter or customize.
Stability and usability issues: crashes, freezes, and troublesome upgrade screens.
Map/visualization limitations: static/non-interactive maps and desire for better mapping (Google Maps).
Perceived downgrade from the old app with fewer features.
